Tehran, YJC. Iranian deiplomat says that reaching a final agreement in the nuclear talks between Tehran and the world powers is dependent upon the latter's decision to withdraw their sanctions against Tehran.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for
Europe and North America Majid Takht Ravanchi said in a meeting with Political
Director of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Wegger Christian Strommen
in Tehran on Monday "If the other side draws back from its previous
thoughts and stop making an instrumental application of the sanctions, we will
be able to reach a comprehensive agreement at the earliest,"

He also noted the necessity for the
development of economic and trade cooperation between Iran and Norway, and said
oil, gas, petrochemicals, energy, fishery and environment are good grounds for
the expansion of bilateral ties and mutual cooperation.

Strommen, in return, asserted that
there are abundant capacities for cooperation between the Islamic republic and
his country.

"Energy and maritime sectors, as
well as fishery and environmental issues, are among the fit areas for
cooperation,” he added.
